Cascais is like a royal resort, full of different sights, and most notably, various, beautiful beaches. Though the ocean was a bit cold, we still had to dip in a bit, but it was good to lay under the sun a while, away from the bustling city of Lisbon. We took the train to Cascais, and visited first some monuments, like the Sao Jose fortress and the Lighthouse Museum, before going to the beach. When we had enough of the sun and the water we sat down at one of the terraces and had a really tasty dinner. Their seafood dishes are quite delicious. It was a beautiful, enjoyable day!

If you’d rather visit a minimalist yet trendy bar that is frequented by the locals, visit Clube da Esquina, which is a big favorite of the younger crowd. This is a very easy place to find during the weekends since young people can always be found sipping on caipirinha around the street near it. The decorations are very cool and the DJs spin various types of music, such as electronica, house [...]
